About the Ford Transit Mk2 Van Team Rothmans Rally Assistance IXO 1:18
TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Transit Mk2 reproduces the Team Rothmans rally assistance van from the late 1970s. The sealed diecast body carries the recognizable Rothmans racing colors on a genuinely uncommon support-vehicle subject. A distinctive piece for collectors of period tobacco-sponsored rally teams.
Rothmans sponsored some of the era's most recognizable rally liveries, and applying that branding to a service van rather than a competing car offers a different, less commonly seen angle on the sponsorship's reach.
Diecast Livery Accuracy on a Support Vehicle
The Rothmans livery's distinctive color scheme sits cleanly across the Transit Mk2's boxy flat panels, and IXO's sealed body handles the graphic registration with the same care given to the brand's better-known rally car liveries. The zinc-alloy construction gives the compact van genuine weight in the hand, and the sealed shutlines around the doors and rear hatch stay tight and consistent, benefits of the one-piece body at this price tier. The van's utilitarian shape provides an honest canvas for the livery, letting the branding read clearly without competing against dramatic bodywork.
A Sponsor-Branded Companion for a Rally Display
Collectors who track period tobacco-sponsored rally liveries will find this Rothmans van a genuine complement to the competing cars carrying the same branding, filling in the support side of a works campaign. At roughly 19cm, its boxy proportions sit comfortably beside lower, more aggressive rally cars from the same era, and the recognizable livery makes it an easy addition to identify within a broader themed display.
